Originally released in 1993, COVENANT is the band's third album and has been specially remastered from the original tapes in Full Dynamic Range (FDR) audio, allowing the music's nuances to shine through and giving the album a more ferocious, immersive and dynamic sound than ever before.

MORBID ANGEL vocalist/bassist DAVID VINCENT comments:

"Covenant was and still remains a very important release in our career. We are all excited to revisit this album in celebration of its 20th anniversary, both on stage and on wax. For purists and vinyl aficionados alike, this new full dynamic master pressing is sure to illuminate the analog sonic fury that we captured in 1993."

The COVENANT Full Dynamic Range vinyl is due to be released on November 4th through the Earache European Webstore, and will also be available in limited quantities directly from the band on their COVENANT 20th anniversary US tour.

The Full Dynamic Range edition of COVENANT will also be released in Europe on iTunes on November 4th, and is available to pre-order now at http://bit.ly/GTQc4F

World Management and Morbid Angel would like to announce the 20th Anniversary of Covenant--United States Tour 1993-2013. The tour is to be a celebration by the Masters of Chaos of their legendary biggest selling release, the album “Covenant".
In 1992, Morbid Angel was the first Extreme Death Metal band to be signed to a major label (Giant Records / Warner Brothers) and "Covenant" was to be their first release on that label in the USA. The album was released on June 22, 1993 and went on to garner great critical and commercial success.
On tour, the band will play the “Covenant” album in it’s entirety and after a short intermission some additional surprise classic cuts. Further, there will be special commemorative items produced exclusively for this tour. In addition, we are asking the local promoters of the shows to add 2-3 of the best new local extreme bands to play on the bill. This is in an effort to celebrate the local underground metal scene in each city and hopefully give support to all local bands everywhere in the USA on what promises to be a historic occasion. All advance Tickets will go on sale July 19, 2013. VIP tickets are available through morbidangel.soundrink.com.

World Management would like to announce that Morbid Angel has added three more shows in Brazil! May 21 - Opiniao Porto Alegre/RS (Urânio Produtora), May 23 - Cine Joia São Paulo/SP (Alive Concerts) and May 25 - Music Hall Curitiba/PR (Showmaster).
The band will also appear on April 13th at “The Metal Fest 2013” in Santiago, Chile and at “Hell and Heaven Metal Fest 2013” in Guadalajara, Mexico on Saturday May 18.
Morbid Angel will also appear at “Hellfest Open Air 2013” In Clisson, France on Saturday June 22, 2013.

See links below:

Certain tour packages seem to make history long before the first show has been played – simply because of a genius and extraordinary line up! In this case, true giants of the extreme metal sector will embark on a European-wide trek to lay waste to every venue possible.

Just look at German thrash metal veterans KREATOR: with the release of “Endless Pain”, they established Germany as a thrash nation in 1985 almost single-handedly and continued throughout the following years to keep a whole subgenre fresh via their own “Violent Revolution”! The guys will present their brand new forceful oeuvre “Phantom Antichrist” live on this upcoming headliner run.

U.S. legends MORBID ANGEL will also appear as headliners, and as everybody knows these dudes wrote sophisticated death metal history with genre cornerstones such as Altars of MAdness “Blessed Are The Sick” Covenant and “Domination”. Recently, they released the bold “Illud Divinum Insanus” and continue to push boundaries while shining brilliantly.

KREATOR and MORBID ANGEL will be supported on tour by another legend – awe-inspiring tech death gods NILE who will release another untouchable milestone of technical and atmospheric brilliance with “At The Gate Of Sethu” end of June 2012. This incredible line up will be completed by Californian thrashers FUELED BY FIRE who know better than any other band out there how to evoke that unholy 80s spirit. If you own their latest album “Plunging Into Darkness”, just nod knowingly.

in an effort to get fans tickets at a lower service charge www.EnterTheVault.com will drop their service fee to $2.99 for the upcoming Morbid Angel tour tickets for the week of Tuesday August 14- Tuesday August 21. This is for all shows across the USA and will allow the fans to get an advance ticket at a savings.

Seminally influential Extreme Metal act MORBID ANGEL have set "Illud Divinum Insanus"
as the title of their eagerly awaited forthcoming album, which has been scheduled for a June 6th release
(one day later in North America). "Illud Divinum Insanus" will be MORBID ANGEL's eighth studio album,
and the first since legendary frontman David Vincent rejoined the fold.

Prior to the release of the album, a single for the song "Nevermore" will be out on May 16th as 7" vinyl
and digital download. The B side is an exclusive version of new song "Destructos VS the Earth",
remixed by COMBICHRIST.

"Of all the remixes I've been asked to do I never expected one of the world's most notorious death metal bands
to have an interest in hearing their music on the dance floor", COMBICHRIST mainman Andy LaPlegua comments.
"However, 'Destructos' is one of those tracks that are so versatile that it could have been recorded as a folk
song and it would still sound amazing. I'm honored to be a part of this project and am excited to see how the
Morbid Angel fans react to this unusual new direction."

The cover artwork for the new album was designed by Gustavo Sazes, he stated:
"To create this cover we worked from several references, ideas, elements, and I would say a ''world'' of options
and paths. After a long brainstorming period and some [good and bad] ideas left behind we came up with the concept
of this organic surreal insane being; a fallen God or a weird mirror image of our own madness. It is a different
Morbid Angel cover for sure, but I think that's how Morbid Angel is...Deviant and different on each new release.
They never repeat themselves. They are always pushing the boundaries and setting new standards. I'm really proud of
the final results and hope the fans appreciate my work, while listening to the new album!"

The cover artwork for the single was designed by French artists Valnoir and Fursy Teyssier for Metastazis:

World Management would like to announce that Extreme Metal Masters Morbid Angel

World Management and Morbid Angel would like to let the fans know
that rumors about Pedro Sandoval¹s back surgery are in fact true.
Pete has suffered for a long time with a deteriorating disc problem.
He was in daily pain and needed to have this done.
He has recently been treated by a Laser Back Surgery specialist
in Tampa Florida. He is currently in rehabilitation and doing well.
Pete is part of our family and the band¹s History
and we all wish him well and a full recovery.
Unfortunately this type of injury, subsequent surgery and rehab
cannot be rushed and it will take ample time for him to hopefully
be back behind his drums again and out on tour with Morbid Angel.

The band is moving forward on their next recording with Tim Yeung.
Currently the guys are in rehearsals in Tampa putting their finishing
touches on the songs for the New album, which is slated for later
this year with subsequent touring world wide.

* High quality redux version of MORBID ANGEL’s classic second album ‘Blessed Are the Sick’

* In addition to the original album, the release now boasts a brand new exclusive one hour
documentary discussing the recording and release of the album, and highlighting the band’s
rise from underground heroes to worldwide flagbearers for the Death Metal scene.

* The documentary features new interviews with some band members and crew, and offers up
the most intimate and detailed examination of the period during the recording and
touring of “Blessed are the Sick”.

* American version is a 2-Disc set (CD plus DVD),
European version is single-disc dual-sided(CD/DVD) digipak.

* To celebrate the redux of one of Death Metal’s most important releases, a special limited
edition picture disc vinyl will also be issued, the first time the album has been available
in this format.

* Originally released in 1991, the album elevated the entire scene to a more artistic,
cultured level, taking influences from classical music and art to bring a new hightened
standard to a previously maligned form of music.

* ‘Blessed Are the Sick’ is regularly featured in polls listing the best Death Metal albums
of all time.

February 24, 2006

Morbid Angel and World Management are excited
to announce that on March 13th and a future TBA date for North
America Earache Records will release Altars of Madness
Jewel Disc.

We have taken the following descriptive comments
From Will Palmers Press Release:
Few albums struck a chord within the ears and minds of the late
'80s underground metal scene like Morbid Angel's 'Altars of
Madness' did at the end of the decade. 'Altars of Madness' set
a new precedent for metal bands to reach and, along with fellow
Floridians Death, pretty much laid down the blue print for what
we think of when we now hear
the words Death Metal, thus setting the standard
by which virtually all extreme metal over the course of the
next decade would be judged.
Now upgraded to Dual Disc format, this latest
release of 'Altars of Madness' not only contains remixes of
Maze of Torment, Chapel of Ghouls
Blasphemy but also, on the flipside, boasts the
first ever official DVD release by the band - the long sought
after November 1989 Nottingham Rock City show filmed on the
bands first ever European outing; the legendary Grindcrusher
Tour (alongside Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower and Carcass).
The energy and power of this performance demonstrates
not only why Morbid Angel were catapulted to huge success in
the years that followed but also captures the exact moment that
Death Metal outgrew the underground and established itself as
a credible metal style in the wider marketplace.

Morbid Angel and World Management would like to clear the air with
the announcement that after more than 15 years and 9 albums
and one EP the band and Earache Records have parted ways on
future recordings. We will be exploring all interested labels
as well as other options and and will make a decision on a new
release for 2005 in the next few months. Currently we are still
in the final phases of tour commitments for Heretic. We wish
Earache continued success in selling our catalogue and have
an obvious professional vested interest in this. We wish to
thank all of the Earache employees past and present for their
work on Morbid Angel’s releases. We are looking forward
with excitement to the future.

World Management would like to announce that the shows for Morbid
Angel in South America ( Mexico, Chile and Columbia ) have been
moved to September 4-11. Bass and Vocals will be handled by
David Vincent. The guys looks forward to their shows in South
America. Morbid Angel and World Management would also like to
thank Steve Tucker for his contribution on several Morbid Angel
records as well as multiple great tours. We all wish him well
and are sure he will succeed in his new endeavors. Steve has
sent some comments for the fans… see his post below:

Steve's post:

After many problems and much discussion with the people around me,
the people I trust. I have decided it is necessary for me to
step away from Morbid Angel. It has been a long trip with a
lot of great shows and I have made many friends along the way.
The Morbid Angel fans that not only excepted me ,but reveled
in my being a part of the band, have been the greatest thing
about my time in Morbid Angel, they are the reason I came back
to the band. There are many reasons for me leaving the band,
personal reasons, musical reasons and very logical reasons.
All of which will stay between me and the band .
Morbid Angel existed many years before I came along
and will for many more I am sure.
I have enjoyed playing with some great musicians and touring with
some great bands and meeting some incredible people all over
the world. To all these people I say "Thank You" and
we will meet again.
I am not done with the music business by any means, I will now
be moving into other areas of the business, things I have always
enjoyed, but didn't have time for. I will be moving into much
more recording ,production and management, so any bands interested
in working with me, feel free to contact me at hewhosleeps@hotmail.com.
Again,Thank you to all of the fans for 8 years of making my hour
and a half of stage time so brilliant!!!

Gaming Newsflash!!!!!!!!!
Anyone remember the old school 3D game DOOM by ID Software?
Surely by now everyone knows what a 3D gaming WHORE Trey is.
If he isn’t
Railing up a storm in the Quake 3 InstaGIB servers he’s
going to work showing
those DOOM Creepers who their owner is.
“Always Happy To Come To MY HOUSE!!!”
Well, Trey has just completed a chaotic new DOOM map called Chambers of
Dis.
This map is set up as a single player survival nightmare environment
to put your
gaming skills to the test. This map is huge and filled with
tons of evil little doom
creepers who all lust for your suffering and fragmentation.
Just click on the new Chambers of Dis menu
link for more
details. The Chambers of Dis map is made for the DOOM enhancement
patch
ZDooM which allows higher video resolution, mouse look and other
upgrades
which breathe new life into this ancient 3D classic. All that
is needed to instantly
play the map is included in the Chambers of Dis Zip file.
“Creating
music that takes the listener places is a big passion for me.
Now I wanna share with you meanies another side of my madness.
J
During the writing and recording period for out latest release
Heretic
I was also working on some other fun stuff such as this Chambers
of
Dis map. For some reason I just gotta be using my imagination
for
something cool and this map was such a funtastic outlet that
I now
wish to share with everyone, just for fun. I’m sure you
all know what
a gaming whore I am so come and taste some of this bitter-sweetness
that I have prepared for you. “

The American Heretic Tour 2004 continues this time with
with Suffocation, Satyricon and Premonitions of War

Morbid Angel's guitar wizard Trey Azagthoth is
included in a list of The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists Of All
Time in the March 2004 issue of Guitar World magazine. Ranking
at #55 on the star-studded list, Azagthoth is described as: "One
of the most crazed characters to emerge from Florida's late-Eighties
death metal scene... A frenzied player, he combines furious, angular
power chords with ripping leads, but his songs never lack dynamics,
since he often chugs through visceral, pick harmonic-tinted rhythms
before lashing out with torrents of blinding noise." Among
the other luminaries on the list are Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen,
and Steve Vai. Congratulations to Trey!

Erik Rutan Moves On
Erik Rutan has announced he is leaving Morbid Angel
in order to devote himself entirely to Hate Eternal.
Erik began playing guitar with Morbid Angel in 1993 and has
played on three of the band's albums, as well as numerous national and
international tours. In 1996, Erik began forming Hate Eternal, a blistering
Death Metal band that takes technicality and brutality to new levels.
In Hate Eternal, Erik fully expresses his own musical and lyrical ideas,
handling vocals and guitar, and the majority of the songwriting. Hate
Eternal's debut album, "Conquering The Throne", was the high-water
mark for Death Metal in 1999 -- a furious yet precise assault on the
senses. Hate Eternal's second album, "King Of All Kings" is
now finished and is set for release on September 16th in Europe and
September 17th in the US.
Erik had this to say about his decision to focus all his energies on Hate Eternal:

"Being in Morbid Angel for the past nine years has been the greatest
time of my life. To play in my favorite Death Metal band of all time has
been a tremendous honor. I want to thank Trey and Pete for all the great
years and all they have done for me, and all the fans who have supported
me and will hopefully continue to support me in the future. It is now
time for me to stand on my own two feet with Hate Eternal."

See Hate Eternal on tour November
5 - November 28 with Cannibal Corpse!

Thanks to Jared
Morbid Angel and World Management would like to thank Jared Anderson for his
solid stand-in participation on bass and vocals for some of the "Gateways
of Annihilation" touring. We wish him well in the future in his
band Hate Eternal and other

Radio interview with Tucker
In case you didn't catch the 'net radio interview that
aired on Energy FM90 radio on Friday night, we happen to have it available
for you to download in MP3 format. There's a couple of audible glitches
in it (hey, you can only get so good of a connection on a 33.6 modem,
right?) but it's quite listenable. The interview was originally aired
with music in between, so we've edited it down to just the interview.
It clocks in at just over 15 minutes.DOWNLOAD

Gateways To Annihilation Press Release
Thanks to Jon Paris for passing this important new press
release along:

ANNIHILATION IS NEARLY UPON US
**Extreme Metal Pioneers Unleash New Album Info and Tour Plans**
Global death metal leaders MORBID ANGEL have unveiled "GATEWAYS TO
ANNIHILATION" as the title for their forthcoming new album and have
solidified details for their upcoming appearance at the Wacken Open Air
Festival in Germany on August 5th.

Produced by both the band and Jim Morris at Morrisound Studios in Tampa,
FL, "GATEWAYS TO ANNIHILATION" is destined to exponentially further
the death metal genre as only Morbid Angel can. "Jim did a fantastic job,"
stated vocalist and bassist Steve Tucker. "He helped to make this record
everything we wanted and beyond." Song titles include "He Who Sleeps",
"Ageless, Still I Am", and "To The Victor The Spoils".
Album artwork is being handled by Dan Seagrave, who also painted the cover
of the band's classic "Altars Of Madness" album.

"We're very proud of this record," continued Tucker. "The album takes
a very paganistic point of view and signifies the opening of a new door:
the entering of a new state of mind and being. This is what Morbid Angel
is about in the year 2000."

Additionally, Morbid Angel is scheduled to appear at the Wacken Open Air
Festival in Germany on August 5th where they will debut several new songs.
"GATEWAYS TO ANNIHILATION" is scheduled for a worldwide release
in early fall.

For more information, please contact Jon Paris at (212) 505-0405 or JparisPR@aol.com.
Further details will be available soon.
